Lower bounds for the index of compact constant mean curvature surfaces in $mathbb R^{3}$ and $mathbb S^{3}$

Let $M$ be a compact constant mean curvature surface either in $mathbb{S}^3$ or $mathbb{R}^3$. In this paper we prove that the stability index of $M$ is bounded below by a linear function of the genus. As a by product we obtain a comparison theorem between the spectrum of the Jacobi operator of $M$ and those of Hodge Laplacian of $1$-forms on $M$.
